Q. What roads can I ride an ECOPED on?

A. ECOPED electric scooters are allowed to travel anywhere bicycles are permitted to travel. Any municipal by-law prohibiting bicycles from highways under its jurisdiction also apply to ECOPEDs. Municipalities may also pass by-laws specific to e-bikes that prohibit them from municipal roads, sidewalks, bike paths, bike trails, and bike lanes under their jurisdiction.

ECOPED electric scooters, like bicycles, are not allowed on controlled-access highways such as 400 series highways, the Queen Elizabeth Way, the Queensway in Ottawa or the Kitchener-Waterloo Expressway, or on municipal roads, including sidewalks where bicycles are banned under municipal by-laws.
